The league-leaders took the lead in the 24th minute when Nicklas Shipnoski’s cross was diverted into the net by Koln defender Marcel Gottschling.
Then in the 42nd minute, Viktoria Koln goalkeeper Sebastian Mielitz was sent off for handling the ball outside the penalty area.
Two minutes after half time, Tobias Jänicke’s smart backheel set up Shipnoski who found the far corner with his driven shot.
The 2-0 defeat was Koln’s second loss in a row, and means they sit seventh with 16 points from 10 games.
